metatarsal tubercle but slightly prominent, narrow, less than one- 

 half the length of the inner toe ; no outer metatarsal tubercle ; fore 

 limbs longer than tibia; tibio-tarsal joint extends considerably beyond 

 the snout; heels overlap considerably when thighs are bent at right 

 angles to the axis of the body ; no dorsal or dorso-lateral folds ; no tar- 

 sal fold; both surfaces smooth. Color (in alcohol) above brownish, 

 below whitish; a narrow whitish Ime from under the eye to and 

 including the postoral glands; sides and posterior surface of thighs 

 coarsely marbled with dark brown; chin and throat clouded with 

 dusky. The specimen appears to have faded considerably, so that 

 the description of the coloration is probably very defective.
